Peer Mentorship

All new students at RWU receive an experienced and trained Peer Mentor who will be a friendly support system to assist in the transition from high school to college life. Peer Mentors check in with mentees frequently throughout a student’s entire first academic year to provide helpful guidance and insights. A Peer Mentor can help students in the following ways:

Inform students of helpful resources

Help students identify tailored strategies for success

Work with students who are struggling academically, socially and in their personal lives, to set goals and resolve issues

Build strong supportive relationships with students and be counted on as a dependable and approachable person to go to for assistance
